'To The Quarry' A landscape image of part of the former Gorseddau Slate Quarry, at Cwmsystradllyn. Taken from part of the former tramway, that linked it to Ynys-Y-Pandy Slate Mill. The former tramway path this side of the gate, local stone built retaining wall. Providing a lead in to the image, and view of the remaining slate waste beyond.

Wall defining the south-west ridge of Rhobell Fawr The path down the south-west ridge of Rhobell Fawr follows this wall to Bwlch Goriwared. Here on the lower slopes, the wall divides the hillside into the colourful heather on the eastern side and coarse grasses to the west. The Cadair ridge is in the background.

Y Garreg Fawr Arch, Llanfachreth This arch marked the entrance to the Nannau Estate from the Llanfachreth side. The 18-ton lintel was transported over ten miles from near The Roman Steps, by four of Sir Robert Vaughan’s tenants who were late with their rent payments. The slab of stone rests on two dry stone pillars either side of the road and no concrete was used in its construction.

Stone entrance way near Llanfacreth I assume that this gateway demarcates some country estate, possibly Nannau. Interesting. You don't see many such things. I am surprised that it has survived given the size of some farm traffic.

Ty Hers Set against the churchyard wall is this 11kV electricity substation where in time past the hearse was kept. The plate on the door has the legend 'Ty Hers 10 7522 013'. 10 represents the district according to the old MANWEB designation, 7522 tells you that you are in that grid square and 013 is the substation number.

Glasdir Copper Mine A view of the remains of the processing works. The mine extracted copper from an open pit and shaft workings (as well as adits). The site is of world importance. Oil flotation, which lead to froth flotation was first used here. The sulphides were agglomerated in the oil and collected. The process allowed large low grade high tonnage porphyry copper deposits to be extracted. Large amounts of copper have been extracted in N and S America. This site extracted copper from a porphyry related breccia pipe (often high grade).
